Alex May and Tasha May ‘s Amazing niece Tatum Watson and her Boyfriend Avery Brown just had their 1st Baby last month. Congratulations!
They welcomed handsome little Cooper James Brown into this beautiful world on December 29th 2025. Luckily they were told ahead of time, that mini Coop would be born with the heart condition, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, in enough time to find a specialist in St Louis. The left side of his heart is smaller than normal and several heart surgeries lie ahead.

At a week old Cooper had his 1st open heart surgery and is doing well with his recovery. Mom and dad are staying strong right by his side. He will need 2 more surgeries to ensure his heart is properly pumping blood and oxygen into the body. Coopers 2nd Surgery will be at 4-6 months, and his last one will be at 4 years old.

Tatum and Avery will need all the help they can get! Being a new parent is hard already, but now they have to deal with all the hospital trips, gas, medical supplies for Cooper’s recovery, food, diapers, and home utilities without a job so they can be by their new babies side.
Let’s show them some Love!

Every Entry will be super impactful for this new little family!
Thank You from the bottom of all our hearts!
